Foggy Foggy Dew

Sides Face, Grand Square
When I was a bachelor I lived all alone
And I worked at the weavers’ trade
And the only-only thing that I that did that was wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid
Four Ladies Chain
I wooed her in the summertime
Chain Back
In the winter, too
Promenade
And the only-only thing I ever did that was wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew

I got tired of living alone
And I said to her one day
I've a nice little cot in my old shack
Where you might safely stay
...
You'll be all right in the wintertime
...
In the summer too
...
You'll lie right warm and take no harm
Away from the foggy, foggy dew.

Again I am a bachelor I live with my son
And we work at the weavers’ trade
And every-every time I look into his eyes
I’m reminded of the fair young maid.
...
He reminds me of the wintertime
...
And of the summer too
...
And the many-many times I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew

Heads (Sides) Square Thru, 4 hands let’s go
Dosado to an Ocean Wave
Recycle then, Sweep a Quarter more
A Right and Left Thru
Square Thru 3/4 ‘round and then
Swing the Corner Promenade her too
And the only-only thing that I did that was wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew

And the many-many times I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
